Hi everybody,
finally i've got my s200 cradle !!!
regarding my attached images, i should have receive a compatible cradle, in fact it comes from the hp ipaq 210 series.
as i did not receive the cradle i ordered, i decided to make some modifications, take a look to the attached images
it works great, the only thing u need is to have a compatible miniusb/activesync cable to be connected to ur computer:
the cable provided with the cradle was only able to charge the phone but no way to connect to the pc. Strangely, the same problem happened with the acer s200 stock cable!?!? (i'm on W7)
the only cables that worked for me comes from my external 2.5'' hdds seagate and toshiba
This cradle looks quite nice even if the phone is not completly centered in the dock

Could I use this one? And still charge and sync with my cradle?
http://www.pocket-man.net/shop/enter.html?target=O2XDA.html
USB All in One Package is what I mean...
if it's made for the xda series
if it's made for the ipaq then no
they share the connector type but not the wireing
really on xpansys they said that I could use the 220v charger for the Imate?
And this product was also suitable for Ipaqs.
So i thought Imate=XDAII=Qtek2020
and if it's adaptor can chgarge an ipaq....the (much cheaper) Ipaq charger should be able to charge the Qtek 2020.
Could this be true?
according to this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Connectors
the plug is the same, but they are connected different. So I would not advice it.
Would this be a better option?

It wont connect with the cradle..but without an extra battery it's not a must for me.
You have to understand any adapter that is made to work on the 1010, siemend sx56, and so on will not work on an xda 2 or 2020. It's very simple don't buy one unless it says it will work with your particular model.
Hi there,
I currently have a recently deceased ipaq 3630 with GPS cable, currently hardwired into my car (I just took the plastics off the plug, hard wired it to ground and ignition power and re-boxed it)
Anyways, I also have an Orange M1000 with 2 cradles, and I'm a cheap*ss mofo.... so what I'm basically planning on is:-
get pinouts for ipaq 3630
get pinouts for M1000 (I see they're in a post in this forum)
cut ipaq end off GPS cable and strip
cut usb end off M1000 cradle cable and strip
using multimeter buzz out the pin -> colour on each of the cables
wire together
glue (or duck tape or something) cradle into car
I'm working on the theory that the gps -> ipaq connection is going to have power and tx/rx which will be all I need for the gps, and that the M1000 cradle will have the same for activesync.
Anyone done this or similar, or does anyone think I'm just crazy?
Cheers

Answering my own question because noone else did
The cradle I had was for USB not serial and I couldn't manage to get serial over USB option working in tomtom..... I opened the cradle (T6 driver), split the cable to leave the power going where it was but split out the 2 usb cables and I buzzed out some points on the board where there was connectivity to the 8 & 10 pins... little bit of soldering and reassembly and I now have a serial cradle with power that connects to my GPS..... now just need to make it look purty in my car
Went to the Palm store and tried their cable that's supposed to sync and charge. It doesn't work with the Treo 750. However, the Palm branded cable did sync and charge with the Treo 680. Can anyone recommend a USB cable that's sure to work with the 750 cable to synchronize and charge the phone when connected? Thanks!
i've got an unbranded sync & charge cable which works fine - just check out ebay. i've also got a palm cradle and a "just mobile" cradle both of which sync & charge just fine.

Can u tried to check/uncheck in
[Start]--[Settings]--[Connections]--[USB to PC]
and reconnect to PC again with your cable.
If still unable to, pls let me know.

I've got the palm cradle too and sync and charge without problems.
Thanks guys, for all the responses. Looking more for a cable. I have USB cigarette charger and a laptop so it'd be easier to just lug around one thing when travelling and eliminate the bulk of the cradle.
Seidio retractable
I have a Seidio retractable sync & charge cable. Ran into it in a shop on Detroit airport. Works perfect and is very small and easy to carry around. According to the package description it was not for the 750, it only mentioned the older PalmOS based models, but it works perfect.

Thanks, psimoons. So that means that the Seido cable charges & syncs with the Treo 750?
The Pocket PC Techs sync-charge cables for the Treo 650/700/750v also work very well. ppctechs.com
Just look on ebay for a USB sync/charge retractable cable. They are cheap on eBay. The noname brand one that I got works great with my 750v, and is actually very good quality.
Hi, i am planning to upgrade my imate ppc to WM5. I read the upgrade documents of c_shekhar and he has mentioned we need to have the cradle adapter connected but I dont have the connector. Can I still upgrade my ppc, kindly let me know.

Sher

Hi there
I did mine with a Sync cable only.
Went 100%. I Had no problems.
I think the only reason why there should be power with th cradle, is if the PPC's battery went flat during a ROM upgrade, it can be disasterous.
But you shouldnt have a problem!
Cheers
also being powered by the pc power could disappear if the pc crashed (or if connected to a unpowered hub along with other devices stealing some of the 500mA that a usb port can max provide)
but if the cradle have the connection to the psu too the chances you can carry on after the pc reboots are bigger
I was concerned about this too - but went ahead anyway with a USB sync cable which i got off ebay, connected to a powered USB hub.
It takes half an hour approx and I had no problems
